    We have this literally every winter in my area, but instead of 200km, it’s more like 20. We get what’s called an inversion where particulates get trapped in our valley, and they don’t leave until the weather changes and all that crap can escape. When it gets rally bad, I can’t see the mountains on the other side of the valley at all, whereas when it’s clear, I can make out specific features on the mountain.

    During COVID, we had far fewer bad air days, because we weren’t producing nearly as many particulates.
